The Saint-Étienne (Saint Stephen) Benedictine priory church in Nevers, central France. Light and shadows playing on the stones in a subdued, mystical and typically Romanesque manner. A wonderful show. You have nothing to do, just be there, enjoy and click the shutter. Nikon Z7 II, Micro-Nikkor...

Following my previous post of that new K&F Concept EN-EL15 battery, my report after three cycles of use (fully charged to fully discharged) is that it takes indeed a lot longer for this battery to start sloping down, compared to Nikon ones. However, once it reaches less than 50 percent of...

Well done!

The Saint Matthew Point in Brittany is a serious contender for the title of westernmost tip of continental Europe. Nikon D810, Carl Zeiss Distagon T* ZF.2 15mm, ƒ/2.8, handheld.

Learning to photograph smaller objects (and even very small ones, like signet rings or belt buckles) is part of the lover of old stones’ toil. Grézieu-la-Varenne is an unremarkable town in the suburbs of Lyon (southeastern France), with an utterly unremarkable church built in the late 1870s...

Stuffed conchiglioni Food photography is of course an integral part of tabletop photography! Here is an improvised (and very lacking, I had to work too fast) snap of conchiglioni (literally, “shellfish-shaped”) pasta stuffed with veal and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. An invention of my wife...

Thanks a lot ! The daily photo for today is... The agony of the Colbert The Colbert missile-launching battleship was built between 1954–56 and decommissioned in 1991. It is famous for, inter alia, having carried General de Gaulle and his wife over the Atlantic for their historic 1967 trip to...

Well, while we’re on the subject of Morse, here is my (probably) most valuable possession: a bronze poniard found on the archæological dig of Troy in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It is probably one of the objects that were taken out of the country in the years after 1870, which is when...

Early morning landscape in Limousin (central France). Nikon D810, Nikkor 85mm, ƒ/1.4 G lens, handheld.

Looks like a nice inn... I love traditional ones like that. There was one we used to go often in Massachusetts, the Wayside Inn... Historic place, too. Minus the hummingbirds, of course.

The top one is great. Looks like De Niro: “You talkin’ to me?” :LOL:

Same as above... (I like short captions) :rolleyes:

A 5th century basilica... and a museum... and a warehouse. Imagine something that’s passed off as a lapidary museum, but in practice looks more like an abandoned warehouse with tons of Roman and early Mediæval statues, capitals, columns, inscribed stones, etc., piled up haphazardly with the...

You’re in for a good read !

Living the life of Chief Inspector Morse In 2019, a theme-based group I belonged to on Flickr set the theme “Fictitious lives”, or something like that. Chief Inspector Morse of the Thames Valley Police in Oxford being one of my favorite characters of fiction, I knew just how to compose my...

... which is why it is funny! 🤩

You-know-what in You-know-where, April 2024. Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor Z 24-120mm, ƒ/4 S lens, handheld. Finishing layer by Nik Software ColorEfex Pro 4.

Rapeseed field and approaching thunderstorm, central eastern France, April 2017. Nikon D810, Nikkor 35mm, ƒ/1.4 G lens, handheld.

Nice! It’s funny to see the exact same words on the ads I recently saw in Spain...

I agree. Same here. I believe there could be exceptions in some specialized fields such as astrophotography. I looked into that at some point and bought a so-called “didymium” filter or “red enhancer” which I ended up never using, as there are definitely not many areas around where I live that...
